From the Inside Flap

They were the most unlikely alliance East Africa had ever seen: O'Flynn and Oldsmith, the legendary gin-swilling elephant poacher and the overgrown schoolboy. Together they braved the terrors of savage Mozambique to make a private paradise, fighting only for family and fortune in the days before World War I. But when Germany's shadow fell across the dark continent, O'Flynn and Oldsmith set their sights on new prey -- the black boots and warships of the Kaiser. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Shout at the Devil (Mass Market Paperback)

A terrific adventure novel set in the first dark days of WWI. Great characters, some nasty Germans, sharp dialog and an exciting raid on a German warship that was based on actual hair-raising events. Darn good film with Lee Marvin, check it out.
